Abstract

Following the assessment of the threats posed to the security of WLAN (802.11a/b/g) networks as well as the conventional mechanisms used today, location is proposed as an additional layer in the conventionally applied network security strategy. The authors indicate alternative approaches for the implementation of location estimation schemes and proceed with a critical appraisal of the advantages and shortcomings.
